THE NORTHWEST
Literary Notes.

LlLI0PdI'y lNOISS.
No one Mt all interested in the scenery or
the natural resources of the western portion
of the United States, can fail to be charmed
by the last number of that handsomely illus
trated magazine. The West Shore. 1t COM
bines instruction and entertainment in a
most agreeable form. There are upwards of
one hundred pages of most delightful des-
criptive matter, fiction, poetry, essays, and
news of progress made in the development
of the resources and industries of that vast
region. Puget sound and the Columbia
river are illustrated and described in most
thorough manner. "The Government of
Oregon" 'The Golden Yuba." "Blue Dirt
an Bed Rock a. Pitchin'," "Dunfermline,"
"Some Errors in Female Education,' "Ava-
lanches and Snow Sheds" "Snohomish. on
Puget Sound" "Santa Barbara-A Resort
for Invalids," "Northwestern News and In
formation" are some of the titles which
suggest the varied and valuable character of
it's contents. "Ashes of Life" code to the
Columbia" and SIN Memory of the Pho
neers," the latter illustrated, are poems
worthy of more than a careless reading.
While preserving high standard of literary
merit, The West Shore is full of the life and
energy of the West, and stands alone as an
illustrated exponent of the literature
scenery, industries and resources of that
region, of which we all know so little and
ought to know so much. Published by l..
Samuel, at Portland, Oregon, at $3.50 per
year.
douglas Duane" the new romance by
Edgar Fawcett, which appears complete in
LippincotPs Monthly Magazine for April, is
in vein which this popular author has
rarely essayed before. In fact. it reads more
like r. L. Stevenson than Edgar Fawcett
The story is weird and strange, and is told
with power that holds the readers interest
to the end. No such absorbing psycholo-
gical study has appeared since the publica-
tion of CDR. Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde" Lucy
@. Lille, under the title Of "Belgravian
Bohemia" gives an interesting sketch of the
literary and artistic society of modern Lon
don, with glimpses of VIM. Black, Herbert
Spencer, Gilbert, George Eliot, Carlyle,
Ruskin, George Boughton, etc., etc. An
anonymous author contributes bright and
amusing sketch, "My Lady dy's-Maid," which
she assures the reader is drawn from life.
Will Carleton's Experiences of Public
Lecturer" is an entertaining bit of autobio-
graphy, and will be eagerly perused by all
the poets admirers. "Social Life at Prince
ton," by Z. M. Hopkins, of the Glass of '88,
is the first of series of articles which are to
describe the inner life of students at our
principal colleges, and are to be written by
students themselves. The poetry is excel
lent. Margaret J. Preston contributes stir
a-tan." Bessie Chandler has "a Spring
Song" and Philip Bouke Marston has a
posthumous poem, "My Grave" which is of
unusual pathos and interest, in view of the
fact that it was one of the very last things
he wrote, and appears to have been written
in the expectation of death.
"Allan Quartermain; or, A Frowning City,"
the new story by the author of "She," in
creases in interest in Demorest'S Monthly for
April, and promises to rival its predecessor
in wonderful adventure. The other contents
of the April number of Dem0resps are equal
